The new normal for us blacks? We will take no responsibility for anything. "I can't breathe" will be the phrase for every crime we commit a crime or do anything that is irresponsible.

A local felon used this line a couple years ago and managed to get away when the cop eased up.

He later killed an officer.

I believe the correct verb conjugation is “breeve”.

Whoever the architects and planners around this are brilliant, in a very sick and twisted way. They and their supporters won’t have to worry about defunding the police. The police are going to quit, retire or go out on disability in droves. There won’t be any cops to do anything. Talk about lawlessness. And since there are no cops, they’ll have to rely on the military. They ones they don’t want in their cities calming down the riots. And given that most of them are of the same ilk as they cops, they’ll soon stop doing their jobs. And since no one can be held accountable for anything, they’ll quit and nothing will happen to them.

Then what?

The citizens start taking matters into their own hands. And that folks, is where the rubber will meet the road. There simply isn’t enough protesters to deal with the coming backlash. And I doubt it will be pretty.

Cops job has just gotten much harder in many kinds of ways

Pop a guy in a Chicago, jump in a car, and the police are going to be told no chase.

If they finally catch him, he can scream I can’t breathe..and then run

Being a cop in the the backyard of the Fed.gov deep state, their employees, and their phony leftist virtue signaling is only worse by being a copy in NY City.

Isn’t it clear by now to cops that if anything at all goes wrong, you WILL be sacrificed to the controlled media by the leftist mayors, their appointed cronies and the leftist city-council people who are your bosses?

In future, do NOT go out on the street for such protests/riots, UNTIL they mayor puts your orders on Facebook and Twitter, so people can see exactly who is in charge.

What is horrible also is that the criminal underclass now claims to speak for and represent all black people. This is thanks to the leftist media, which never asks a responsible, honorable black American for a statement but goes right away to some rioting thug as if the creep is somehow a legitimate representative of all black people.

I think it must take a lot of courage for a black person to stand up against this farce and try to make his voice of reason heard.

The first thing the white media says, of course, is that he is not “really” black. Only thugs are really black, in the collective media mind. Wow, talk about true bigotry...

I have not watched the video, and I’m always suspicious of CNN’s reporting, but as it’s described here, this could be an excessive force case. Three years in prison is a stretch for tasing a disoriented druggy for disobeying a police order, but some retraining is needed.

If I were a cop in a Democrat city, I would quit immediately.

Democrat scum will stab you in the back and destroy you for political points.

“I can’t breathe.”

The new “get out of jail free” card.

I totally agree. The issue here is that a lot of cops in these democrat run cities are also liberal. I say that because I live in a democrat run city and I have a cop friend who is totally indoctrinated with that liberal vomit.

That’s very true. Also, these cops have gotten a taste of power from enforcing the harsh Dem state lockdowns against ordinary citizens - of any color - attempting to go about their business, and they’re perfectly happy to go along with and enforce the leftist line. Power undreamed of before the lockdowns.

I just watched this video

if you cant breathe, then you cant say,” I cant breath didi 15 times in a row”

The guy was high on something and unable to follow instructions, he was physically strong and high as a kite.

NO ONE likes seeing this when it happens but when it comes time to restrain someone who is fighting back, it looks like a fight no matter who is right.

And since there are no cops, they’ll have to rely on the military.
= = = = = = = = = = = = =

Have to be on the ‘alert’ here as it appears ‘they’ are trying to overload the Military with Women, women that wanna be men, men that wanna be woman, pedos, cross dressers and some confused people.

‘They’ may not be trying to overload etc but once the ranks get infiltrated, normal boys are not going to want to associate with the ‘weirdos’ and we will run into a REVERSE of the 60s VN demonstrations - WHERE the young girls were putting posies in the barrels of the young troops that were ‘protecting’ the Pentagon etal, NOW the young troops will be putting posies in the gun barrels of the ‘citizen patrols’ that will be taking up the slack.

Even today when they can ‘convince’ a whole ‘Division/Company/Squad’ to face down a mob and not be armed, we are in trouble.

It is video ....but it may not show the whole story...

Gerry Spence...Police State....justice reform will only happen when the ten or fifteen percent of corrupt ...cops...judges..prosecutors ,lawyers are turned in and go to jail..

There is no justice for anyone if they want you they will get you...

The rich who can afford the best lawyers will get away or serve very little time...
